Are you asking for help on the lift or the plow?

I didn't really see a 2" lift for the 250s. Those springs I linked are meant for plows/winches as they are a much beefier spring then the stock F250. They will prolly cause your truck to sit a bit higher.

Only lifts I can find start at 4" for your truck.

shackle flip in the back will give you 2.5-4in depending on how you do it. if you do a 4in lift on the front and a shackle flip in the rear I would think with the plow weight you'd be sitting about even...

There are "add-a-leaf" kits that will boost the front end 1-2in. This basically "levels" the truck, but once you get the plow on it will pull the front end back down any extra you would have gained.
